Rihanna is one of the frequent customers of Pécsi Gloves International, a Hungarian gloves manufacturer located in Pécs, a city in Hungary.

Based on a Facebook post of the Pécs-Baranyai Kereskedelmi és Iparkamara (Pécs-Baranya Chamber of Commerce and Industry), the world-known American singer wore the gloves of the Hungarian manufacturer. Rihanna is a regular customer of Pécsi Gloves International, and the company made multiple variations for her. Finally, she chose the red version made of lamb wool.It was not the first time she wore gloves made in Hungary. Thus, the company already knew the size she needed. Stylists prepare several sets for a big production like the Super Bowl Halftime. This year’s Super Bowl was special since Rihanna paid tribute to designer Andre Leon Talley, who passed away last year.

Interestingly, the products of the Pécs manufacture are almost utterly unknown to the Hungarian public despite many wearing them in Hungary and worldwide. In Hungary, they are known as Karma Pécsi Kesztyű, the name of their official Facebook page. You can find them on Social Media, with an abundant selection of high-quality gloves.

Pécsi Gloves International is involved in several international cooperations and supports several film stars and celebrities with gloves. Designer and owner of Gaspar Gloves, Dorothy Gaspar, helps them with US contracts. Thanks to that cooperation, the American singer wore the product of the Hungarian gloves manufacturer in the Super Bowl show.

Sziget’s Main Stage was named after the recently-deceased booking manager Dan Panaitescu, who worked on staff for twenty years. Tribute will also be paid to David Bowie in the Magic Mirror tent under the title “Ashes to Ashes” on Wednesday, Day Minus One.

Sigur Ros from Iceland will play for the first time at the festival this year. Their performance is on Saturday. The last day of the festival, next Tuesday, will feature the US Lumineers and the UK’s Last Shadow Puppets.

“The festival will be one of the safest places in Budapest”, chief organiser Károly Gerendai said at a press conference on Monday. Security will be tightened at the entry points and this year visitors can be identified by their bracelets for the first time. Head of operations Dániel Benis told MTI that a security staff of 1,300 will operate on festival grounds, working in collaboration with fire services, police and medical staff, altogether numbering about 3,000. A special ambulance force with nine cars on call and space for medical helicopters to land will provide medical assistance.

Last year the festival attracted a record number of over 430,000 people. It fetched the European Festival Award for Best Major Festival first in 2011 and then in 2014.

Odette: Be with you – Sziget 2016 anthem

Look at the sky the highest high

Believe you can touch

Not afraid to fly

Be the one is what you want

Dirty shoes running news

Hard to loose

Let it go nobody knows

We don’t care about tomorrow

Give me back the love you get

We on the sway road you never forget

It’s you you you

And me me me

All we need is love

to set us free
